Great drinks, your ingredients

Description

Explore cocktail recipes using filters and search. Filter by recipes you are able to make with your ingredients. Filter by flavor, favorite drinks, or ones you haven't tried yet. Search titles, ingredients, sources, and more.

Create your own cocktail recipes and share with friends. Throw a cocktail party–we’ll bring the menu. Your ingredients, recipes, and favorites are backed up to the cloud. Your data is automatically synced and always available–online or offline, on all your devices. Switching devices? Just sign in to your Mixel account to pick up where you left off.

Why Mixel? You'll see... we designed the app with a delightful, 8-bit, pixel art style. It's just as fun to use as it was for us to make. So get started!

Want more details? How about...

• Over 700 curated cocktail recipes from only the best published sources. Classics, variations, modern takes, and one-offs. They're all here.

• Over 500 ingredients to add to your bar, all with beautiful pixel art. We made sure not to leave any out!

I’d like to start by saying that this is a well-designed app, and it allows you to visualize your liquor/mixers/etc. all at a glance. My biggest concern at the moment is that there are simply not enough recipes included yet. I’ve bought the $9.99 package with hopes that I’d find many cocktail recipes. I realize that more will likely be added, but it’s annoying to know that I have over a dozen liquors and only four recipes show up as possibilities. There are a lot of widely known cocktails that aren’t included, and that’s disappointing to see.

On the plus side, the quality of the recipes seems to be good from what I’ve seen so far. The descriptions are also nice to have as well. I’m hopeful that the recipe selection will expand soon.

I want to love this app, but I hate it, but I still use it

The functionality is great, but please use modern graphics. The novelty of the 8-bit digital wears off in about 23 milliseconds. This app hurts my eyes. I love the functionality, but I hate looking at this app. The moment another app comes out that duplicates this functionality (as well as depth of recipe database), I will drop Mixel and move to something that doesn’t cause me to lose my vision. In the mean time, I’m begrudgingly using Mixel.

Edit: Per the developer’s recommendation, I tried out Lush cocktails on the App Store. The recommendation was spot on as Lush is a much better executed app. It sounds like Mixel made a poor design choice early on and now they are stuck with it. Either way, I’m getting great cocktail recipes from Lush and it doesn’t hurt my eyes to look at!!

Thanks for the review! Glad you hear you like the functionality, although specifically the art style is one we settled on early and simply isn’t something we can change I apologize. We are actually quite happy with it, but I understand it’s not for everyone. I would recommend Lush Cocktails if you need another cocktail app to provide recipes, very solid work they’ve done. Cheers!

Well Designed, Fun, and Helpful!

Whether you only need to consult the app for an eggnog recipe once a year at the holidays, or you need an everyday companion, this app is perfect.

What if I told you that there was a way to tell you phone what is in your Bar and refrigerator, and it would store that information and show you drinks you can make currently, as well as drinks you might be able to make with a few more ingredients? Until Mixel, there wasn’t an elegant solution.

Mixel takes old school art and mixes it with helpful information to take you from a regular guy or gal to a top notch at-home (or full-time) bartender.
